Head and Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) Lawyer

It’s easy to see why head trauma or a brain injury can have serious consequences for someone. The brain is the command center of the body, and any injury it sustains may result in permanent damage. That is why head and brain injuries are deemed catastrophic in the realm of personal injury law.

This will allow us to seek the highest financial restitution possible to help you recover.

Recovering from a Brain Injury

For many brain injury survivors there are two phases, the critical and the long-term phase. This means you could need restitution for both current and future medical bills. For family members, the critical phase can be the most stressful, as recovery is an uncertain and long road. The brain is such a complex human organ, and scientists and doctors still don’t entirely understand the way the brain works. That’s why brain injuries can be such a confusing and difficult process for survivors and their families. Often, doctors don’t know what to expect any more than the victims and their families do.

During the critical phase, the ER staff’s main goal will be to stabilize the victim. This can be extremely stressful, as you may get a call from the ER informing you that your family member has been seriously injured, but information will be extremely limited. Waiting to know how your loved one has been affected after a brain injury can be distressing. As we have mentioned before, brain injuries can be very complicated to handle, and doctors will not want to give you false hope or unnecessary worry.

Once the brain injury victim has been stabilized, they will likely be moved to the Intensive Care Unit. Here additional tests and procedures will be done to determine the extent of your loved one’s injuries. Within the ICU, victims of brain injuries will receive 24-hour care from a team of highly trained doctors and nurses. Seeing someone you love in the ICU can be terrifying, especially with all the cords and wires attached to them.

Once the brain injury victim has been moved to ICU, complications can begin. Swelling is very common among brain injury survivors and like any part of the body, swelling is a natural reaction. Just think of when you roll your ankle, it can swell up to double its size. Unfortunately, your brain doesn’t have the luxury of swelling because it is restricted by the skull. Doctors do have steps they can take to help reduce the brain swelling, but this can be a very stressful part of the recovery process. This is a good time to ask your doctor questions about what is going on with your loved one. At this phase, there are some complications that brain injury victims could face, including:

DVTs or blood clots

Seizures

Bed sores

Pneumonia

Drop foot

Disruption to autonomic and metabolic functions

As your loved one recovers, it is important to note that it can be a very slow process. Waking up from a coma can start with a twitch of a finger. Make sure that you keep a cool head but celebrate the small steps toward recovery as well.

For all the stress and medical bills placed on a family during and after a traumatic brain injury, the personal injury team at Ligori & Sanders Attorneys at Law can help. We will work to get you the restitution you need to recover after you or your family member suffered a brain injury. We know the victims of serious accidents are real people that deserve the chance to live their life to the fullest. Unfortunately, insurance companies are often not willing to pay reasonable restitution, even on the worst of injuries. If we handle your case, we will work with you and your family directly and fight tirelessly to obtain the compensation you need to help with recovery.

I just wanted to take a quick time out to say something nice about Mr. Tim Sanders. This man spent an entire year handling my affairs like he was my personal friend. He went to bat for me, and I could tell he cared a great deal about me, my case directly, and he clearly takes a great deal of pride and integrity into his work. You hear a lot of negative about lawyers in this world. Tim, was a tireless worker to get me what I deserved. This guy does his living from the heart. I made a really great choice when I called Tim. My wife and I are so thankful we did.

My experience with Ligori & Sanders was excellent. Their attention to detail and genuine concern for my situation showed that they truly cared about me as a client. The staff was professional, knowledgeable, and kept me informed throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Ligori & Sanders to anyone needing help and direction after an auto accident.

Alisabeth S.

Ligori & Sanders is an amazing law firm. The employees take time with you to make sure that you truly understand the details of your case and why things are done a certain way to produce the best results. When calling, I always spoke to a person and on the off chance that a message was left, I received a return call promptly. I highly recommend Ligori & Sanders.

Michael J.

Mr. Ligori's firm took the time to explain the legal process and find another attorney in another county. If this law firm can go the extra distance for not even their client, imagine the dedication and expertise if you were their client.

Angela K.

I got into an auto accident and hired Mr. Sanders to represent me a couple weeks later after my insurance company’s lackluster performance to help get me back to normal. I was nervous, this was my first accident with injury and I had never hired a lawyer before. Well let me say, my expectations were met and exceeded, every step of the way. Ligori and Sanders were focused on me and my health. They were polite, prompt, and went to bat for me when the insurance company was not. Not only would I recommend Ligori and Sanders to anyone who needs them, I would insist.
